Abstract
A new approximation is proposed for testing the equality of k independent means in the face of heterogeneity of variance. Monte Carlo simulations show that the new procedure has Type I error rates that are very nearly nominal and Type II error rates that are quite close to those produced by James’s (1951) second-order approximation. In addition, it is computationally the simplest approximation yet to appear, and it is easily applied to Scheffé (1959) -type multiple contrasts and to the calculation of approximate tail probabilities.Keywords
